Oklahoma City -- New Orleans Hornets Coach Monty Williams declined to go into specific details about the extent of forward Anthony Davis’ sprained left shoulder injury.But Williams did indicate that Davis has some swelling in his shoulder but he expects for him to be listed as day-to-day.

Davis, the No.1 overall pick in the 2012 draft, did not make the trip with the team for Wednesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Davis, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, suffered the injury during the third quarter in Tuesday night's 101-97 loss to the Brooklyn Nets after colliding into Nets center Brook Lopez. Davis came away from the contact grimacing in pain while holding his left shoulder.

"Anytime you have that deal of swelling, we’ve got to get the strength back,’’ Williams said before Wednesday's game. "As a coach you try and not put him in a position where he might get banged up again. It just part of the game, I would guess we will know more when we get home. We will see how he feels after a couple of days.''

Hornets officials said Davis didn't undergo tests on his shoulder until Wednesday morning when it was determined he suffered a sprained left shoulder

Just after the injury occurred Tuesday night, Davis came out of the game and went directly to the bench but did not return. Hornets trainer Jon Ishop began treating Davis on the bench by applying a wrap on his shoulder and applying heat. But after the wrap was removed, Davis began flexing his arm, but continued to wince in pain. Hornets officials said Davis could have went back in the game, but Williams sat him out as a precaution.

After the game, Davis was not made available to reporters. The Hornets did not provide an injury update on Davis' condition after the game.

"Last night, he didn’t travel to the airport and I heard he was getting a MRI,'' said forward Ryan Anderson before Wednesday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. "I didn’t know exactly know what had happened. I know he was grabbing his shoulder. But I wasn’t sure to what extent how it happened.''

Anderson was expected to replace Davis in the starting lineup against the Thunder.It’s the second injury Davis has suffered in less than a week. In last
Friday’s 104-100 loss to Dallas Mavericks, Davis suffered a minor knee
sprain during the third quarter and did not return. But Davis practiced the next
day and played 28 minutes against the Sacramento Kings, scoring 20
points and grabbing eight rebounds
